Abstract:
The present investigation concerns the seasonal changes of phytoplankton diversity and physico-chemical characteristic of water in a lentic water body. Diversity indices of 58 phytoplankton species and the regulatory effects of the 10 physico-chemical parameters of water on the phytoplankton diversity were assessed. The phytoplankton diversity, richness and dominance were high in winter but the evenness was high in the months of pre-summer. From the Euclidean distance of seasonal variation of phytoplankton diversity and physico-chemical parameters of water it was revealed that the phytoplankton diversity were changed with the seasonal i.e. pre-monsoon, monsoon and post-monsoon changes of physico-chemical parameters.
Keywords: Diversity indices, Euclidean distance, Khan-pukur, Physico-chemical characteristic, Phytoplankton
